What is BookStack? BookStack is an opinionated wiki system that provides a pleasant and simple out-of-the-box experience. New users to an instance should find the experience intuitive and only basic word-processing skills should be required to get involved in creating content on BookStack. The platform should provide advanced power features to those that desire it but they should not interfere with the core simple user experience. - https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack   Installation    01. Download XAMPP  https://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/XAMPP%20Windows/    02. Download BookStack  https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/releases/latest    03. Download Microsoft Visual C++  https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x64.exe    04. Download Composer  https://getcomposer.org/Composer-Setup.exe    05. Install Microsoft Visual C++    06. Right click the downloaded XAMPP .zip file ≫ Extract All...    07. Right click the downloaded BookStack .zip file ≫ Extract All...    08. Rename the extracted folder bookstack    09. Cut the bookstack folder inside the XAMPP directory    10. Copy the extracted XAMPP directory to a safe location to run from, C:\Program Files for example    11. Run XAMPP/setup_xampp.bat to update the configuration files with the new server location   Configuring the Web Server    01. Navigate to XAMPP/php and edit php.ini    02. Find the following line and remove the ; to uncomment them          extension=ldap          extension=gd    03. Save the changes to php.ini    04. Navigate to XAMPP/apache/conf and edit httpd.conf    05. Paste the following configuration at the bottom of the file, update the folder paths as needed          Alias /bookstack "C:/Program Files/xampp/bookstack/public/"          ≪Directory "C:/Program Files/xampp/bookstack/public/"≫          Options Indexes FollowSymLinks          AllowOverride None          Require all granted          ≪IfModule mod_rewrite.c≫          ≪IfModule mod_negotiation.c≫          Options -MultiViews -Indexes          ≪/IfModule≫          RewriteEngine On          # Handle Authorization Header          RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .          RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]          # Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...          RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d          RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$          RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]          # Handle Front Controller...          RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d          RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f          RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]          ≪/IfModule≫          ≪/Directory≫    06. Save the changes to httpd.conf    07. Install Composer    08. Run XAMPP/xampp-control.exe    09. Click the Start button next to Apache and MySQL    10. Navigate to XAMPP/mysql/bin    11. Hold the SHIFT key and right click in the white space ≫ Open PowerShell window here...    12. Type the following in the PowerShell window to setup the BookStack database          .\mysql -u root          CREATE DATABASE bookstack;          GRANT ALL ON bookstack.* to 'bookstack_rw'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'B00k$t@ck!';          FLUSH PRIVILEGES;          EXIT;          exit    13. Navigate to the XAMPP/bookstack folder ≫ Right click in the white space ≫ Open PowerShell window here...    14. Run the following command to download dependencies          # create a copy of the sample .env file          cp ..env.example ..env          # edit .env in notepad          notepad ..env    15. Modifying the following key/value pairs in .env as needed          APP_ENV=production          APP_DEBUG=false          APP_KEY=SomethingSecure          APP_URL=http://windows11.local/bookstack          APP_TIMEZONE='America/New_York'          APP_LOCALE=en          DB_CONNECTION=mysql          DB_HOST=127.0.0.1          DB_DATABASE=bookstack          DB_USERNAME=bookstack_rw          DB_PASSWORD=B00k$t@ck!          MAIL_DRIVER=smtp          MAIL_HOST=smtp.i12bretro.local          MAIL_PORT=25          MAIL_USERNAME=null          MAIL_PASSWORD=null          MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null          MAIL_FROM_ADDR=bookstack@i12bretro.local          MAIL_FROM_NAME='BookStack'          MAIL_REPLYTO_ADDR=bookstack@i12bretro.local          MAIL_REPLYTO_NAME='BookStack'          MAIL_AUTO_EMBED_METHOD='attachment'    16. Save the changes to .env    17. Continue with the following commands in PowerShell          # install dependencies with composer          composer install --no-dev --no-plugins          # generate app key          php artisan key:generate --no-interaction --force          # migrate the database          php artisan migrate --no-interaction --force
